For API 650 tank shell thickness calculation, what are the reasons why someone would use the 1-ft Design Method over the Variable Design Point Method? I know that API 650 5.6.3.1 states that the 1-ft method shall not be used for tanks larger than 61 m (200ft) in diameter. If I have a 50 ft diameter tank, why should I favor one method over the other?
